About Lorob Bees. "I started everything to do my part with the family gardening, my mom would always work so hard to get the black berry bushes completed without much return. For years people told us to put all of these chemicals on the bushes. One day i realized that it was poor pollination!! That season (2019) I purchased my first bee hive, from there i was hooked! I began to enjoy experimenting and teaching others about honey bees to try to encourage more people to take up beekeeping. The videos that i will be posting pretty regularly will basically be my day to day working in my hives so my customers and supporters can see the behind the scenes. Thanks for your support.. YOU are AMAZING!
After using this unit for the past year I can say it is excellent
Received mine today. Excited is an understatement!!
Saw this on Kamon Reynolds channel and just ordered. Thanks for the great system.
Very Nice!! So easy to get hooked on beekeeping!!! Great video!!!
Thank you!! its extremely fun
Mine is on the way!!! So excited to get this.
We placed an order after watching Kamon. Ready and waiting to treat our hives!
Excellent product at a great price for all beekeepers. We will upload a review video and promote it with all out new beekeeper followers.
waiting on my order, i like the idea of inserting into the back of the hive. I have a home made vaporizer that is inserted in the front, bees always flying into my face.
Yeah, no vail needed just a respirator. It’s much more pleasant.
I heard Kamon Reynolds mention these on his live show last night, so I had to pop over and check you guys out...and I ended up ordering one today. 🙂
Aww, thank you for your order! We’re big supporters of kamon, He’s great!
Love mine. It's so fast on recovery.
Just received mine today! I’ve kept bees for about 5-6 years now but this is the first time I’ll be treating (tired of them dying over winter- though my hive did make it through winter this year! ). The vaporizer looks to be very well made! And comparing the price to something like the provap (or whatever they call the one that’s $500+) it was a no brainer to get this one! Thanks for offering an awesome product! PS- I like the warning sticker on the bottom- Harmful to varroa mites! 🤣
HAHA! You are the first person to point that out, Had to make some fun out of it. Thanks for the order im sure it will help your bees for a long time to come!
@@LorobBees I do have a couple questions for you though- 1. Is it acceptable to drill the hole in my bottom board instead of the bottom box? I use all mediums and would prefer to have the hole in my bottom board instead of having to have dedicated boxes for the bottom of the brood nest or having a bunch of boxes with a hole in them. 2. Since I use three mediums for the brood nest vs two deeps would the dosage be the same or should I increase it any? If so by how much? I use 10 frames. Thanks!
@@brandonn5371 dosage would be the same. You can go into the bottom board though you may have to hold it due to the stand on the front being too low to rest on the bottom board. I know people who use pallets who drill holes in the bottom side of their boxes. You just don’t want to spray directly onto a frame as it can cause a clog or improper treatment.
Lorob, Your OA is doing really well down here with Kamon, he took a few mins to say it was in the back area were I'm showing my horizontal hives.. People are asking me Question about the OA and I'm just sending them to your web site. I hope that is okay??? It is sitting on a table all alone I move it onto one of my hives to help people see it but they thought it was mine so I put it back on the table.. They like it a lot and I hope you sell a ton of them...
Thanks, I should have thought to send something for it. I’ll know for next year. All of the info for it is on the website everyone attending gets a 10% off code “kamon”. I had one guy purchase one from the event today. I really appreciate you keeping an eye on the questions. I hope to be there next year. I hope your hives are doing well! I really like what I’ve been seeing of them.
@@LorobBees Okay I will let them know about your discount code!!! My hives are doing great!! I'm sure you will get more orders..
@@horizontalbees3480 Thats awesome! And I really hope so, Ill see you there next year! haha. Thanks so much for assisting me many states away!
@@LorobBees Your welcome...
Hey, I have a horizontal hive as well and just got my vaporizer. Where did you drill the hole? Centered, under the brood area, dosage split over multiple holes or what do you recommend? My hive is new this year and is only about 1/2 full.
Ordered. Cant wait til I get it. I seen kamon and Bruce bees use it.
Thanks for your order! Feel free to reach out any time for a status update!
@@LorobBees ok thanks
I just received a Lorob Bees “Macro” Vaporizer FRONT ENTRANCE, and I have doubts about how to use it because I don't know if the operation is the same as the one applied to the back of the hive. What is the difference between the two vaporizer models? And the second question is, if I can only repeat the doses every 7 days instead of every 5, would the effect be the same?
Just received my vaporizer. I run only mediums instead of deeps. What is the dosage for medium hive boxes? Thanks
Hello can I purchase 1 of just copper pot with tube from you would also purchase some bowls as well , have one I bought last year from guy in tx but pot solder job didn’t hold that’s same pot on mine thanks god bless
my pot is designed differently then most on the market as the dimensions are different. I also don't sell Individual parts at this time due to current vap demand. That being said If you go looking to upgrade my units braze will not brake and i stand behind that with my warranty.
Rob, The text in the video says you typically treat 5 days for 6 weeks = 30 days. However the audio says you like to treat for 2 full brood cycles. From my calculations/understanding these are not the same time periods. A drone brood cycle is 24 days therefore 2 cycles is 48 days. A worker brood cycle is 21 days so 2 brood cycles would be 42 days. So to treat for 2 drone brood cycles would be treatment 5 days for 10 weeks or for a worker be it would be 5 days for 9 weeks. Please he me understand which is correct or what I am missing.
I'm pretty sure what he meant was to treat every 5 days for 6 weeks. 6 weeks is 56 days. So it would be 11 treatments.
@@kurtschurenberg2311 Kurt. Thanks. I don’t know what I was thinking. I heard and typed weeks but in my mind was thinking number of treatments versus number of weeks. Your clarification got me back on track. Thanks for taking the time!
Rob as you know 1gram OA is all that is legal now. Many reseachers and beekeepers are finding that the dose needs to be higher. Do you have plans for making dosage caps that will hold more than 2 grams of OA? Your competition already has caps that will hold a higher dose. I'm asking because I'm planning on buying a vaporizer but am pretty sure the dosage allowance will be raised.
You are correct, we do have plans for an XL unit in the near future. We have been seeing the research. And are working closely with them so we are ready when the label changes.
So will you just make bigger cups available or will the unit be bigger. Should I hold off for a while before purchasing i won't have need for it until into spring. Yours is the one that I want to get.
@@woodlandharvesthoneycompanyllc we aren’t sure just yet, I don’t think the XL unit will make it in time for spring. By our design it will likely have to be a different unit though it will be extremely similar just the front scaled up.
Ok maybe it will be wise to wait until your new unit comes out. I can get by with my pan type and battery a little longer. My hive numbers are getting to the point that I need to go a little faster. I just think there is a chance the allowed dose will go up. I personally think a single deep hive body should get 3 grams to come in contact and kill all of the mites that are not under cuppings. You don't want surviving mites to possibly get immune to treatment. If you kill them, they can't evolve. Thanks Rob!
Have you developed a OA charger for your vaporizers like the new battery operated unit.
What happens if it runs past 400 degrees with the cap on?
Nothing, simply remove the cap once it gets to 400f. Treatment has then completed.
@@LorobBees Thanks! I just treated my hives with your macro and noticed you removed right at 400. I was concerned harmful gasses could be released above the 400 degree threshold.
@@oknasob Nothing like that, if you leave the cap on for an extremely long time it can promote faster degrading of the caps. That’s the only downside:)
